I'm easily impressed by gothic, romanesque, barroc and other cathedrals or churches but I also like smaller and modest religious temples, such as these two brazilian chapels in São Paulo and Minas Gerais states.
St. Anthony Chapel is located in São Roque, city in the state of São Paulo. Built in
1681, this chapel is a notable example of the Bandeirista
style, an
important manifestation
of Brazilian
architecture from the colonial
period.

The chapel
of Saint Helen is
located on the
ridge of Santa
Helena mountain, in the municipality of Sete Lagoas, Minas Gerais. The chapel was built in colonial
style in
1852.
